Hello,

So as you can read from the title, I suffer from all three psychological disorders, and the thing is, although they are all related, the main reason behind each one of them is different.

I fear that I will not be able to return to my old self, and that I will not be able to start the life that I want, as I am unable to do even the smallest and simplest tasks there is.

I will start taking meds for ADHD starting next week, and I am already taking OCD and Depression meds, although my depression is still the same.

I don’t know what I want from this post, but thought I would share it because why not.

Hello,

So I didn’t ever think about having PTSD, but I was thinking a while ago about some things that happen to me repeatedly.

The thing is, I am just a coward, I have a great fear from everything: insects, loud voices, dark, and many more things. The problem is I am a male, and I am expected to be a man, which should not be afraid of simple cockroaches.

I didn’t reach phobia level, but it really is a problem for me, especially in the environment that I live in where people regard me as a MAN.

But now to the real PTSD, which I want to talk about, is when there is screaming. Even if the noises are 100 kilometers far from me, I just get so much anxious and stressed, I just cannot tolerate screaming. Maybe it is because my father used to shout a lot when he gets angry? I think so, but maybe there is another reason for that.

But if this was PTSD, how can I work on that? I don’t think there are any meds for these things right? I hope I can overcome all these fears one day.

Hello,

I don’t know if this is the right community for this post specifically, but it surely is related to my question.

So I have ADHD (ADD to be specific), and I am a Med 1 student who is failing and/or passing his exams with the lowest grade. I didn’t know I had ADHD until now, so I really suffered a lot in university. I did my premed in 5 years instead of 3, and now I might be asked to repeat my Med 1.

What I am trying to say is that for someone with attention deficit, maybe medical school was not the right choice for me, and maybe I should consider another major that is more suitable for my ADHD.

I love analysis, math (except statistics), I am an introvert, not creative at all, my goal is to make some money then launch my own business.

Any recommendations for my case?

Hello,

So i have been suffering from pornography addiction for more than 12 years now, and I didn’t know I had ADHD until now. The sense of guilt and shame after watching pornography really killed me mentally and emotionally.

I literally tried EVERY way you could ever imagine to quit this addiction, but just couldn’t.
Can this addiction be related to ADHD? And when I start the treatment, will it help me overcome it?

Hello,

So to sum up my story, i did a BS in Biology for 5 years instead of 3. I’m currently a Med 1 student, but I failed 2 courses till now, and i hope i can start taking ADHD medications from next week, after years of undiagnosed ADHD.

However, even the courses I passed, i was literally the last place during the entire year, and i don’t think i can compensate all the missed information even after i start taking medications.

I am about to quit med school, and pursuing a business degree (Masters). And here’s where i need your help. What do you know about MBA? And can i be accepted as a biology graduate? Is there any other (non-medical) option?

My final goal is to launch my own business.

Thank you for your time

Hello,

I know i’m spamming posts on this community, but I literally spent 5 years suffering from inattention and failing and repeating years of uni because of ADHD. So please bear with me🥺

So i am now a Med 1 student, i spent 5 years studying Premed instead of the normal 3, and the main reason behind this mess is because of undiagnosed ADHD, and me not being able to study or focus despite sitting for hours in front of the laptop.

So now i’m doing my Med 1, and unfortunately, i failed few exams, and i barely passed my other exams (PS: i was a GPA 4/4 student in my first year).
So tomorrow i have the biggest exam of the year, and if i fail, i need to repeat the year all over again, and i cannot bear this situation anymore, I’m already late 2 years.

I forgot to say that I didn’t start taking medications yet because of some problems, so i’m also not ready for tomorrow’s exam.

I know this post is very unorganized and all over the place, but i really don’t know what to do.
Do i just quit uni and start a business from zero (which i very little knowledge of)? Or do i repeat the year for the 3rd time?

Thank you for reading all this

(So my last post got deleted because i wrote a sentence which was against the guidelines, so sorry for that.)

Hello,

So i already posted my story about ADHD like 2 days ago, and it seems to me more and more that i am actually suffering from ADHD.

However, there is a huge problem. I already went to a psychiatrist and he diagnosed me with OCD (which is a right diagnosis but missing), but now it is impossible for me to return to him or to anyone else, as my parents already did not want me to go, and I cannot afford a psychiatric session on my own.

I cannot continue failing in uni, and i cannot stay living like that, i’m literally a dead soul in a body, 5 years of pure suffering (thank god for everything though).

What should i do? Is there any cheap psychiatrist (even if online)? Is there any 1% chance?

Please help me

Hello,

I’m a 23M living in the middle east. I just wanted to seek some guidance because i am so lost right now.

In school, I was always the “smartest” student, getting always the highest grade, and getting asked for advices or tutoring.

Then, when i started uni, i got on my first year a GPA of 4.0/4.0 which is the highest grade you can achieve.
But now comes the crisis: beginning of second year till now (6th year), my grades literally made a “free fall”, to the extent that i failed 5 courses in one semester. I took 5 years to graduate instead of the normal 3 years, and it really killed me mentally and psychologically.

I don’t know what happened, but i know that i could not start studying, no matter how hard i try. I used to go to exams without knowing what the names of the chapters were, i just could not. I used to stay hours in front of the laptop without being able to study a single word.

Then i went to 2 psychiatrists, and both thought i have OCD and gave me medications for it. After 2 years of taking these medications, i can say confidently that i did not achieve even 15% progress.

Just an hour ago, i came across this test and did it, and it told me i had severe ADHD. Then i did a little bit of research, and when i saw the symptoms of ADD (which is a type of ADHD i guess), it was like it is describing me word by word.

I seriously don’t know what to do anymore, i need advice, i can’t stay like this.
